It can pay to side with LEVERAGE who can get the better of Perfect Silence and King's Colour. Luca Cumani has got his string in good form at present and Leverage ran a blinder on his return from a break when he chased home Methaaly at Warwick earlier this month. He is upped in trip which should suit and with the promise of more to come he is taken to get his head in front. King's Colour ran better than the bare form would suggest here last time and as he had previously recorded back-to-back wins, he could be capable of bouncing back. Perfect Silence is a course and distance winner and if Sunshine Always goes well in the 7.20 race tonight, that will boost the form of her run here last month when she finished fourth in a race where Sunshine Always was second. Restless Genius has the best of the draw but he looks to be in the grip of the handicapper at present. Secret Witness and Ektimaal also have claims, but preference is for Leverage who should prove tough to beat.
